Who Stole the Man Who Had Been Secretly in Love with Me for Five Years?!

For a moment, Huo Wu froze.

When she learned that Feng Xiaotian was the one who had come, Huo Wu felt a little delighted.

Every girl had her vanity.

Whether someone pursued you was one thing; whether you accepted them was another.

Huo Wu's father was the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, so she had been pampered since childhood.

She had a pretty face and a hot figure.

But she was hot-tempered, proud, and willful.

Quite a few boys at the academy liked her.

However, there were almost none like Feng Xiaotian, who had persistently pursued her for five years.

Even though Feng Xiaotian had liked her for so long, she had never taken it seriously.

She believed Feng Xiaotian was not strong enough, at least not yet qualified to be her boyfriend.

When she learned that Feng Xiaotian had not come specifically to see her, she actually felt a trace of disappointment and resentment.

"Brother, are you sure he didn't come to see me?"

Watching his exasperated sister, Huo Wushuang helplessly shook his head.

"He really didn't come for you. We haven't seen each other for half a year, and he's gotten stronger. His strength is far beyond mine now. He's no longer the Feng Xiaotian he used to be. We just fought, and I lost. Thoroughly."

Huo Wu was shocked once again and muttered to herself:

"Has he really become stronger? Is that why he didn't come looking for me?"

"Enough. Don't overthink it. He's already gone."

"Then what did he come to see you for?"

"He wanted to form a team with me and asked me to go to Skywater Academy with him. Forget it, I'll tell you later."

Seeing her brother's somewhat shy expression, Huo Wu instantly exploded.

"What? He wants to take you to Skywater Academy?! It's full of girls. What are you two going there for?!"

"Well..."

"Forget it. I'll ask him myself!"

After saying that, Huo Wu ran off, chasing after him toward the main gate.

She had not gone far when she spotted a familiar figure.

It was Feng Xiaotian.

"Feng Xiaotian, stop right there!"

Feng Xiaotian turned around and saw Huo Wu running toward him in a fury.

After half a year, seeing Feng Xiaotian again actually made Huo Wu feel a trace of excitement.

Feng Xiaotian had grown his hair to his shoulders, giving him a roguishly handsome look.

Although he wore a mask, his eyes seemed more mature and more charming than before.

"What is it?"

Feng Xiaotian's nonchalant attitude made Huo Wu even angrier.

"Wh-what do you mean? Why are you taking my brother to Skywater Academy?!"

"Oh, I'm taking him there to exchange techniques and check out some beauties while we're at it. Your brother has been single for twenty years. There's nothing wrong with letting him spend more time around girls, is there?"

Huo Wu was completely enraged.

She stepped closer and closer, backing Feng Xiaotian into a corner. She planted both hands against the wall, blocking his way.

Her eyes locked directly onto Feng Xiaotian's, blazing with fiery light.

"Have you fallen for some girl from Skywater Academy?!"

"That's my private business. It has nothing to do with you."

"Y-you used to like me so much! Has it only been half a year, and you've already fallen for someone else? Men really are all scum!"

Feng Xiaotian gently brushed Huo Wu's hands aside.

"I did like you. For a full five years. Five years—do you know how I spent those five years? But now I've figured it out. Since there's no room for me in your heart, why should I keep forcing it?"

After saying that, Feng Xiaotian left without looking back.

Huo Wu stood frozen where she was, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She had thought that Feng Xiaotian, who had pursued her so bitterly, would keep waiting for her forever.

But she had not expected Feng Xiaotian to be so resolute this time.

"Maybe his patience had already been completely worn away, and he didn't love me anymore."

"Maybe he never truly loved me from the start. The moment he met someone better, he changed his heart."

Watching Feng Xiaotian's retreating figure fade into the distance, Huo Wu grew more and more unwilling to accept it.

Disappointment, frustration, unwillingness, and jealousy filled her heart.

"I want to see exactly what kind of girl she is! How could she steal the man who had been secretly in love with me for five years?!"

Huo Wu hurried back to the academy and found Huo Wushuang.

"Brother, when are you going to Skywater Academy? I'm going with you!"

"What are you going for?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, you have to take me with you. I'm the vice-captain of Blazing Fire Academy's team. I have the right to know."

"Fine. When the time comes, I'll take you to see Brother Tian first and ask what he thinks."

Huo Wushuang knew his sister's personality. Once she got stubborn, no one could stop her.

Afterward, Huo Wushuang told Huo Wu everything that had happened between the two of them at the academy gate, as well as everything Feng Xiaotian had said to him.

Huo Wu was shocked once again.

She had not expected Feng Xiaotian to become so strong that he could suppress her brother with just one move.

And it had even been a Self-Created Soul Skill.

Feng Xiaotian obtaining a Ten Thousand Year Black Ring also came as a surprise to Huo Wu.

What she found most unbelievable was that Feng Xiaotian actually intended to challenge the Spirit Hall Team.

Huo Wu had yet to witness Feng Xiaotian's strength for herself.

She did not know whether he was blindly confident or truly certain of himself.

In any case, after what happened today, Feng Xiaotian's image in Huo Wu's mind had changed greatly.

Huo Wu even began to admire Feng Xiaotian a little.

That night, Huo Wu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She desperately wanted to know why Feng Xiaotian had changed his heart.

The more she failed to get an answer, the more anxious she became, wanting to hurry to Godwind Academy and find Feng Xiaotian.

Several days passed in a row.

That day, Feng Xiaotian came to Hurricane Valley to cultivate as usual.

Recently, he had gained some insight.

"Wind lends power to fire, and fire lends might to wind. Storms sweep up water, and the waters surge toward the heavens."

"Wind is the starting point. Gather wind with Soul Power to form a storm, then control the wind with intent."

Art of Wind Control—turn the intangible into the tangible and create a Tornado Storm!

In an instant.

Feng Xiaotian felt his entire body fill with power.

He stood up, stretched out his right hand, poured in Soul Power, and silently chanted in his heart:

"Come, wind!"

In an instant, wisps of wind gathered from all directions, forming a massive Tornado Storm.

At once, sand and stones flew through the air, blotting out the sky and sun.

Feng Xiaotian poured in even more Soul Power. Countless blades seemed to swirl within the wind pillar, capable of shredding enemies with ease.

Just then, several of Feng Xiaotian's teammates rushed over.

"Wow! Boss, what move is that? That's incredible!"

Feng Xiaotian calmly withdrew his hand.

"This is a new Soul Skill I created: Tornado Storm."

"Another Self-Created Soul Skill! Boss really is a genius!"

"By the way, why are you all here?"

"Boss, Huo Wushuang and Sister Huo Wu came looking for you. They're waiting at the academy."

After Xiao Luo said that, everyone laughed.

"Boss, do you and Sister Huo Wu have something going on? This is the first time she's come to our academy to look for you."

"Who cares about her?!"

The others were completely baffled.

"Boss, didn't you really like Sister Huo Wu? Why—"

"Enough. Stop asking. Back to the academy!"
